 A new global resource aims to bring transparency and credibility to the global plastic crisis’ rapidly growing solution: plastic credits. In 2018, a German brand producing vegan condoms, Einhorn, contacted a young ocean impact organisation, Seven Clean Seas, with a curious request. “We want to be as good-for-the-world as possible, but we can’t avoid plastic in our packaging. Can we pay you to remove the same amount of plastic from the environment?” The resulting collaboration may have been the world’s first informal plastic credit transaction, years before the concept gained widespread attention. Now, almost seven years later, the world has changed. And so has the market. Plastic credits have evolved from a fringe concept to a much-needed part of the solution. Seven Clean Seas, having built one of the leading consultancy teams in the waste reduction sector, has worked with global brands, governments, and events - including The Economist Group and FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 (The Sup...

Ripple’s XRP faces renewed volatility amid rumors of U.S. government seizure and legal uncertainty with the SEC, while stablecoin RLUSD rapidly approaches a $500M market cap. Could Ripple’s bold stablecoin push shape XRP’s future? The crypto market was rattled over the weekend by fresh speculation involving  Ripple  and its flagship digital asset, XRP. On June 22, XRP slid another 8.13%, closing at $1.9378. The drop came as rumors circulated that the US government could seize Ripple’s escrowed XRP holdings to build national crypto reserves, a theory floated by crypto analyst John Squire. However, legal expert and pro-crypto attorney Bill Morgan swiftly debunked the claim, stating, “No, it won’t.” Despite this, the narrative gained just enough traction to spook investors already on edge.
